Dilbert creator lashes out after papers pull his strip: 'Dicey situation'
ozimoron replied to Scott's topic in World News
Racism is more intent than words. That's why Adams has been "cancelled". Intent is inferred from context. -
Many digital nomads are employed and so not entrepreneurs so the term would be overly restrictive. I don't understand why DN's need a co-working space, all I need is internet and somewhere quiet in case I need to teleconference. Fibre internet in my own home is always going to be faster than anything shared. I live in Pattaya. I could live in CM but the entertainment in Pattaya is better.

Ukrainians and Russians rally in Patong against war in Ukraine

Russian Support for Putin's War Falling Fast as Economic Fallout Bites—Poll https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-war-support-poll-sanctions-1784392 -
So one side is allowed to start a war with a smaller country which has no hope of winning with its own resources and other countries shouldn't intervene to prevent war crimes? Should that also have happened in WW2 when Germany attacked Czechoslovakia? Should the UN not have bombed Belgrade either? Should Britain and Australia not have helped the US defeat Japan?

Special counsel shows signs of ramping up Trump investigation
ozimoron replied to Scott's topic in World News
yeah, whatever. -
Logically, it will for whatever period it's enforced.

It will improve pedestrian safety immensely.

It had to be Wu ! We knew the truth all along.

Posts about politics rightly belong in the world section which carries a banner warning about links to evidence to stop people spreading conspiracy theories. Not that that's likely in a thread about Carlson. -
2024 poll: DeSantis slides as Trump surges to 1st head-to-head lead in months
ozimoron replied to Scott's topic in World News
The same people who've paid for polls year round in every year since forever I guess. Statistics has shown that 1500 is adequate to produce a poll that normally lies within a calculated confidence level. The pollsters aren't claiming that public opinion won't change between now and 2024, just that this is the public opinion now. Curious that folks want to know what that opinion is even now, isn't it? -
Denmark scraps public holiday to boost defence budget

That's the big shame about democracy, isn't it? If the churches had their way it wouldn't have been cancelled for sure. -
2024 poll: DeSantis slides as Trump surges to 1st head-to-head lead in months
ozimoron replied to Scott's topic in World News
There's also this Fox News poll showing Trump well ahead. There's still a long way to go but it looks like DeSantis is toast. His far right policies are perceived to be even worse than Trump who is merely stupid and lazy. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3875424-trump-tops-desantis-by-15-points-in-fox-news-poll/ -
Thailand is only made better by the removal of vendors a home made liquor of dubious quality and quality control. You'd be up in arms if vendors in your country were peddling it to your kids.

The protests are being held in their country and the stereotypical image of Thais being uninterested in world affairs isn't actually true. -
Except that it was Putin's pal who decided to withdraw and set the timeline to do so. I guess Putin actually did have reason to believe America was weak judging by how easily he apparently organised that to happen. He misjudged Biden's resolve though. Biden rallied NATO tot he cause of freedom and democracy and here we are now.

Donald Trump Jr.’s Interview With Kyle Rittenhouse Goes South In A Hurry
ozimoron replied to Scott's topic in World News
Might as well just defund the police and let teenage vigilantes do the job. You know, smaller government and all that. -

The difference is that those other social gestures haven't been exclusively adopted by a single group, unlike the ok hand sign and the phrase in question. As I said, context is everything. Links attributing the ok gesture and "it's ok to be white" (not coincidentally related) are plentiful on this forum. Why are you asking me for more? -
Does fact checking matter to your opinions?
ozimoron replied to ozimoron's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I'm semi fit and full time employed, albeit late 60's. The reason I spend too much time on this forum is because I work remotely in IT. This forum does detract from my productivity a lot. Happy to meet if you are ever in Pattaya. Off to the gym now. -

Links so I don't have to waste my time looking for something that's not there? -
It was a problem even under Trump when gays were expelled. However, "woke" refers to rejection of understanding and acknowledgment of black history and issues generally. The military can hardly be accused of that.

I'm not surprised that you agree with yourself but who's paying social media to delete the truth?
